...achieve certain understanding in recruitment and selection processes, legal and ethical issues, building successful teams, styles and impact of leadership, performance monitoring and assessment. Furthermore for better understanding the key details related to above mentioned topics I have chosen Yo! Sushi Company to investigate. Background of the company Founded in 1997, YO! Sushi brought the concept of a Japanese ‘kaiten’ sushi bar that delivered food to customers via a conveyor belt travelling 8cm per second to the masses, and became the original and most famous sushi brand in the UK. By 2001, YO! Sushi was the market leader in sushi restaurants and (we like to think!) inspired supermarkets to start selling packaged sushi to the Great British Public, allowing people in areas where YO! Sushi restaurants hadn’t arrived yet to take their first steps in discovering how tasty and healthy sushi can be. For the past 11 years YO! Sushi has been led by the CEO, Robin Rowland and with the help of their leadership team, they have grown from a London-only sushi brand to an international iconic success with over 60 restaurants worldwide. YO! Sushi is privately owned by Quilvest and the YO! Sushi senior management team in the UK. Task 1. Recruitment, Selection and Retention Procedures For the purpose...

QUELCH HEATHER BECKHAM op yo Metabical: Pricing, Packaging, and Demand Forecasting for a New Weight-Loss Drug In April 2008, after 10 years of testing and $400 million in research and development costs, Cambridge Sciences Pharmaceuticals’ (CSP) newest prescription drug, Metabical (pronounced Mehtuh-bye-cal), was about to receive its coveted Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. CSP was an international healthcare company with over $25 billion in sales in 2007. The company, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, focused on developing, manufacturing, and marketing products that treated metabolic disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, and immune deficiencies, as well as other chronic and acute medical conditions. Metabical was part of a strategic initiative that would allow CSP to enter the $3.74 billion market for weight-control products in the United States.1 tC CSP’s chief marketing officer, Bernard Long, said of the new product: No Metabical is revolutionary. It will be the first and only prescription drug to receive FDA approval to meet the needs of the millions of individuals struggling with moderate weight-loss goals. Previous prescription weight-loss drugs had negative side effects that, in the agency’s judgment, outweighed the benefits provided to individuals who were not considered obese. Metabical will be approved for use by those looking to shed between 10 to 30 pounds. Initial reviews...

...Harvard Business School 9-291-080 rP os t June 25, 1991 Continental Carriers, Inc. op yo In May 1988, Elizabeth Thorp, treasurer of Continental Carriers, Inc. (CCI) was considering the advantages and disadvantages of several alternative methods of financing CCI’s acquisition of Midland Freight, Inc. At a recent meeting of the board of directors, there had been substantial disagreement as to the best method of financing the acquisition. After the meeting Ms. Thorp was asked by John Evans, president of CCI, to assess the arguments presented by the various directors and to outline a position to be taken by the management at the June directors’ meeting. CCI was a regulated general commodities motor carrier whose routes ran the length of the Pacific Coast, from Oregon and California to the industrial Midwest, and from Chicago to several points in Texas. Founded in 1952 by three brothers, the firm experienced little growth until the mid1970s. At that point Mr. Evans joined the firm as president after many years as an executive of a major eastern carrier. Mr. Evans first concentrated his efforts on expanding CCI’s revenues on existing routes through an intensive marketing effort and a renewed emphasis on improving service. In 1982, utilizing the proceeds of CCI’s initial public offering of common stock, Mr. Evans began a program designed to reduce operating costs through a combination of extensive computerization of operations and improvement in terminal facilities. As a result...

...Harvard Business School 9-195-108 rP os t October 14, 1994 Yokohama Corporation, Ltd. (B): Cost Management System op yo Yokohama Corporation, Ltd., was created as a joint venture between a Japanese automobile manufacturer and the Japanese government. Yokohama was founded in July 1939 and began production in late 1942. The objective of the firm was to manufacture hydraulic systems for automobiles and trucks and associated equipment under license from a German firm. The venture was successful and within a few years had diversified into other automotive products, including fuel pumps and transmission systems. tC Manufacturing inside Japan was undertaken at five facilities: Ranzan, Ibaraki, Chiba, Hiroshima, and Maebashi. The original production facility, the Ranzan plant, was opened in 1940 to produce hydraulic products. In 1992, it manufactured four major product lines, including electronic fuel-injection control systems, in-line injection pumps, automatic timing devices, and fuel-injection nozzles. It produced products for the injection pump and hydraulic & pneumatics divisions. The Ibaraki plant was built in 1965 to manufacture injection nozzle holders for the injection pump division. The Chiba plant was built in 1970 to manufacture air-conditioning equipment for the air-conditioning division. The Hiroshima plant was built in 1982 and manufactured injection nozzles for the injection pump division. Finally, the Maebashi plant was built in 1990 and was responsible for the...

...Comparison of Gender Roles Gender roles have always been a part of the daily life throughout the 1900’s, however up until recently this has changed. Women have always wanted to have their own opinion, views and the ability to think and act for themselves. In many of the stories read in class, we see how both men and women have gender roles, and how some want them changed. On the other hand, if they even do. In many stories we have seen the characters struggle with societies views, Janie wants to work and be able to think for herself in Their Eyes Were Watching God. In Trifles, we see that women are considered unimportant, or that they only worry about the little things that seem unimportant, as said by the men in the play. Elisa in The Chrysanthemums also faces gender discrimination, which she wishes to overcome. In the last play we read, A Doll’s House, Nora is subject to gender discrimination as well much along the same terms as the previous stories read. In Their Eyes Were Watching God, Janie just wants to be treated the same as everyone else, meaning the male population. Joe treats her as a lesser person throughout the novel, however she feels she should be able to make her own decisions an example is when she tried to leave Joe, however his remarks were, “ where will you go, who will take you in being married and all leaving your husband.” This is Joe and the male society putting Janie down so she feels powerless, this caused her to stay with Joe and not leave, in addition...

How to Say Nothing in 500 Words Paul Roberts Paul Roberts (1917-1967) was a linguist, a teacher, and a writer at San Jose State College from 1946 to 1960 and at Cornell University from 1962 to 1964. His books on writing, including English Syntax (1954) and Patterns of English (1956), have helped generations of high school and college students become better writers. "How to Say Nothing in 500 Words" is taken from his best-known book, Understanding English (1958). Although written almost fifty years ago, the essay is still relevant for student writers today. Good writing, Roberts tells us, is not simply a matter of filling up a page; rather, the words have to hold the reader's interest, and they must say something. In this essay, Roberts uses lively prose and a step-by-step process to guide the student from the blank page to the finished essay...

The pirate answered, How dar you molest the world? I have a small chip, so they call me a pirate. You have a great navy, so they call yo an emperor. But you're molesting the whole world. I'm doing almost nothing by comparison. Thats the way the world works. The emperor is allowed to molest the world, but he pirate is considered a major criminal." - Noam Chompsky, What We Say Goes. Noam Chompsky is an extremely wise linguist and I have been a fan for many years. I have read What We Say Goes, and Imperial Ambitions, in which both books similarly trash the mistaken ideals and actions of the American Government. Chompsky consistently accuses Uncle Sam of bullying, but all in a researched, constructive, and informative way that enlightens its readers. While I rarely agree with the principles of Chompksy, I enjoy hearing such a wise man speak while also becoming more well rounded in my political views. In, On Power and Ideology, Chompsky criticizes American democracy and critiques capitalism for all its imperfections. In the opening paragraph he states "To what extent is the United States a democratic society, in which the general population is able to influence public policy." Similarly to our class debate this questions the difference between Democracy and a Republic. A nation is only democratic...

...rP os t 4381 DECEMBER 14, 2011 DAVID A. GARVIN SUNRU YONG Introduction op yo Bergerac Systems: The Challenge of Backward Integration In July 2010, Ian Wyckoff, CEO of Bergerac Systems, scribbled a few notes about his latest meeting with a group of veterinarians. These were his customers, and they provided direct feedback on their latest experiences with Bergerac’s diagnostic instruments for animal care. The feedback was always valuable, although on this visit it was not entirely positive. tC The customer feedback was fresh in Wyckoff’s mind as he returned to the proposal he had started reviewing that morning. It summarized the “make vs. buy” analysis for OmniVue cartridges conducted by his director of planning, Bob McCarthy. McCarthy recommended that Bergerac build a cartridge fabrication unit within its own plant rather than acquire GenieTech, one of the company’s two current cartridge suppliers. No The decision between in-house development and external acquisition was critically important. Bergerac was growing fast—averaging 17% annually since 2007—but it remained a small player with limited resources in a very competitive market, and Wyckoff was determined to avoid a costly mistake. He had to make a decision quickly, as the supply of OmniVue cartridges had been inconsistent in recent months. Indeed, the veterinary practice that Wyckoff had just visited had recently been frustrated by a temporary stock-out at their distributor...
